PREFACE 

The  ever-increasing  interest  in  biblical  research  and  inquiry 
has  also  increased  the  demand  for  Bible  dictionaries  and 
encyclopedias,  especially  for  those  that  deal  with  the  etymol- 
ogy of  proper  names  in  the  Scriptures.  It  may  be  affirmed, 
and  easily  proven,  that  scriptural  names  were  not  arbitrarily 
chosen  but  selected  with  the  idea  of  defining  the  relation  of 
the  bearer  to  God  and  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  some 
important  general  truth.  The  remarkable  feature  of  sacred 
history  is  that  God  alone  is  exalted.  This  feature  was  por- 
trayed in  the  actions,  conditions,  and  functions  of  men  pos- 
sessing names  indicating  natures  either  allied  to  or  separated 
from  the  Divine. 

Many  persons  have  read  the  Bible  from  early  youth  but 
have  failed  to  find  any  permanent  help  from  its  sacred  pages. 
It  has  been  to  them  little  more  than  a  history  of  an  ancient 
nation,  the  poetry  of  an  Eastern  people,  the  story  of  a  won- 
drous life,  or  a  collection  of  precepts  far  too  pure  and  undevi- 
ating  for  everyday  life.  To  Bible  students  who  do  their  own 
thinking,  who  delve  beneath  the  surface  and  follow  truth 
wherever  it  may  lead,  there  is  nothing  more  helpful  than  a 
familiarity  with  the  literal  meaning  of  proper  names  in  the 
Bible.  We  can  no  more  fathom  the  profound  depths  of  the 
Scriptures  without  a  knowledge  of  the  literal  meaning  of 
these  names  than  we  can  solve  mathematical  problems  with- 
out a  knowledge  of  numerical  values.  The  value  of  a  full 
understanding  of  the  original  significance  of  the  proper  names 
in  the  Bible  is  beyond  any  possible  computation  and  measure- 
ment, and  the  literal  meaning  of  these  names  is  the  keynote 
of  this  understanding. 

Realizing  the  need  of  a  concise  and  comprehensive  dic- 
tionary of  the  proper  names  in  the  Bible  led  me  to  compile 
such  a  work.  This  dictionary  is  composed  of  definitions 
selected  from  accredited  authorities.  It  is  the  result  of  ex- 
tended research  and  credit  of  indebtedness  to  these  authorities 
is  unreservedly  made.

8         DICTIONARY  OF  BIBLE  PROPER  NAMES 

With  the  increased  and  systematic  study  now  given  to 
various  portions  of  the  Bible  and  the  growing  interest  in 
Scripture  exegesis,  among  all  denominations,  the  literal  mean- 
ing of  proper  names  with  which  the  Scriptures  abound  can 
hardly  fail  to  elicit  a  larger  share  of  investigation.  Each 
name  in  the  Bible  has  its  own  distinct  significance  and  fills 
an  important  place  in  the  understanding  of  the  Bible.  There- 
fore, let  us  seek  by  study,  reason,  and  revelation,  to  understand 
the  original  significance  of  these  names  and  reap  the  benefits 
which  will  accrue  from  this  understanding.

INTRODUCTION 

Originally  proper  names  were  not  chosen  to  merely 
designate  persons,  places,  etc.,  but  to  indicate  some  distinct 
characteristic  that  is  known  to  belong  to  them.  This  applies 
to  all  names  whether  it  be  that  of  the  Supreme  Being  or  of 
the  most  obscure  person  or  place.  The  distinct  character- 
istic of  the  Supreme  Being  is  power.  The  principal  Hebrew 
name  for  the  Supreme  Being,  Elohim,  translated  "God"  in 
the  English  Bible,  is  derived  from  an  ancient  Hebrew  root 
denoting  power.  The  plural  form,  Elohim  (Gods),  instead 
of  pointing  to  polytheism  is  applied  to  God  as  the  fullness 
of  power — the  eternal  Godhead  (Rom.  1:  20).  Jehovah,  mean- 
ing "the  existing  one,"  another  Hebrew  name  for  the  Supreme 
Being,  occupies  the  same  relation  to  Elohim  that  force  does 
to  power.  Force  is  power  manifested,  Jehovah  is  the  man- 
ifested or  revealed  Elohim.  Thus  the  expression,  Lord  God 
(Jehovah-Elohim),  meaning  powrer  manifested,  indicates  the 
entire  administration  of  God  by  which  he  manifests  himself 
and  his  attributes  to  men. 

The  Bible  tells  us  that  no  man  can  see  God's  face  and  live. 
No  one  has  seen  power  of  any  kind  at  any  time;  all  that  the 
physical  senses  can  apprehend  is  the  manifestation  of  power. 
Power  can  be  seen  only  a  posteriori;  that  is,  from  its  man- 
ifestation. Elohim  can  be  seen  only  through  his  manifesta- 
tion, that  is,  the  Invisible  is  a  true  reading  of  the  visible  (Rom. 
1:20).  The  scriptural  expression,  "to  walk  in  the  name  of 
God"  is  to  experience  his  power.  Such  expressions  as  "the 
name  of  Christ"  (2  Tim.  2: 19),  "to  believe  in  Christ's  name" 
(John  1:12),  "saved  by  his  name"  (Acts  4:12),  "to  have 
life  through  his  name"  (John  20:31),  refer  to  the  manifesta- 
tion of  divine  power  as  demonstrated  by  Christ  Jesus. 

Names  are  used  in  the  Bible  to  portray  good  and  evil  agen- 
cies and  forces,  uniting  in  a  perfect  degree  that  to  which  the 
name  applies,  that  is,  scriptural  names  are  true  to  type.  Rightly 
understood  these  names  focus  the  human  mind  on  individual-

10       DICTIONARY  OF  BIBLE  PROPER  NAMES 

ities  instead  of  persons  and  are  infinitely  more  important 
as  a  type  than  as  a  distinguishing  label.  The  Bible  has  a 
fourfold  sense,  consisting  of  the  literal,  or  historical;  alle- 
gorical; moral;  spiritual.  Proper  names  enter  into  all  these 
significations  and  are  the  "warp  and  weft"  of  Scripture  exege- 
sis. Hence  the  importance  of  knowing  the  meaning  of  Scripture 
proper  names  at  once  becomes  evident. 

In  this  work  all  proper  names  occurring  in  the  Old  and 
New  Testaments  are  defined.  These  names  are  arranged  in 
alphabetical  order  and  the  method  of  dealing  with  them  is 
as  follows : 

I.  Pronunciation.  A  diacritical  mark  is  employed  for  every 
clear  vowel  sound,  and  when  not  marked  the  vowel  is  invariably 
mute.  Unaccented  syllables  are  separated  by  a  hyphen  (-). 
Compound  names  are  separated  by  an  en  dash  (-).  Primary 
accent  (')•     Secondary  accent  ("). 

a  as  in  make;  a  as  in  courage;  &  as  in  add;  &  as  in  dare;  a  as 
in  star;  a  as  in  all;  a  obscure  as  in  liar. 

e  as  in  eve;  $  as  in  serene;  8  as  in  end;  e  as  in  her;  e  obscure 
as  in  fuel. 

I  as  in  sight;  i  as  in  idea;  i  as  in  pity;  l  obtuse  as  in  firm; 
l  obscure  as  in  ruin. 

6  as  in  bold;  6  as  in  obey;  6  as  in  lord;  6  as  in  odd;  0  obscure 
as  in  valor. 

U  as  in  use;  tl  as  in  humane;  u  as  in  rumor;  ll  as  in  full;  ii 
as  in  up;  ii  as  in  urn. 

y  as  in  style;  y  as  in  myth. 

g  soft  as  in  cent;  C  hard  not  marked. 

£  soft  as  in  Genesis;  g  hard  before  e  and  i,  as  in  Gethsemane 
and  Gihon;  g  hard  otherwise  not  marked. 

§  as  z  in  muse;  X  as  gs  in  Alexander;  x  as  ks  in  Exodus. 

II.  Lexical  References.  Immediately  following  each  name  is 
a  number  which  refers  to  a  corresponding  number  in  the 
Hebrew  and  Greek  Lexicons  in  Strong's  Concordance  of  the 


INTRODUCTION  11 

Bible.  Numbers  preceded  by  the  letter  "H"  refer  to  the 
Hebrew  Lexicon,  and  those  preceded  by  the  letter  "G"  refer 
to  the  Greek  Lexicon.  These  lexicons  contain  all  the  Hebrew, 
Chaldee,  and  Greek  words  in  the  original  Scriptures,  showing 
the  derivation  and  common  meaning  of  such  words,  and 
giving  a  complete  list  of  the  different  English  words  into 
which  each  word  is  translated  in  the  Bible.  These  lexical 
explanations  are  so  clear  that  even  the  original  languages 
in  which  the  Scriptures  were  written  are  brought  in  easy 
reach  of  every  reader  of  English. 

III.  Latin  Meaning.  The  Latin  meanings  of  names  follow 
the  lexical  references.  These  definitions  invariably  throw  some 
light  on  the  significance  of  proper  names  and  assist  the  stu- 
dent, hermeneutically,  in  the  interpretation  of  the  Bible. 
Although  the  original  Scriptures  were  given  to  man  in  the 
Hebrew  and  Greek,  they  have  since  extended  to  every  tongue 
and  nation.  At  a  very  early  period  a  Latin  version  was  made 
from  the  Septuagint,  and  the  Latin  language  has  since  occu- 
pied a  prominent  place  in  biblical  translations.  The  super- 
scription placed  over  Jesus  at  the  crucifixion  was  written  in 
Greek,  Latin,  and  Hebrew.     Luke  23 :  38. 

IV.  Literal  Meaning.  The  importance  of  a  full  explication 
of  proper  names  in  the  Bible  cannot  be  overestimated.  The 
literal  meaning  of  these  names  is  the  chief  factor  in  determining 
their  significance.  Proper  names  among  the  Jews  were  all 
significant  and  in  most  instances  expressive  of  religious  feel- 
ing. In  the  Elder  Scriptures  the  Jews  formulated  a  complete 
system  of  doctrines  by  employing  a  peculiar  set  of  names, 
words,  and  phrases,  figuratively.  In  the  New  Testament 
this  nomenclature  is  approved  and  often  quoted. 

V.  Identification.  After  the  punctuation  mark  ( : — )  appears 
a  brief  identification  of  the  name  under  consideration.  This 
will  also  be  found  an  aid  to  the  student  in  determining  the 
significance  of  proper  names,  as  it  is  highly  important  to 
know  whether  the  name  is  of  a  person,  place,  river,  moun- 
tain, etc.,  as  each  has  its  own  peculiar  significance.  Hebrew 
names  were  conferred  not  merely  for  the  purpose  of  identifi- 
cation but  because  of  an  idea  they  expressed.  This  under- 
lying idea  can  still  be  made  apparent  by  taking  into  consid- 


12       DICTIONARY  OF  BIBLE  PROPER  NAMES 

eration  historical  events,  i.  e.,  identification,  and  the  literal 
meaning  of  the  name. 

VI.  Comparisons.  A  name  having  a  similar  meaning  to 
the  one  under  consideration  is  given  in  capital  letters  and 
enclosed  in  brackets. 

VII.  Scriptural  References.  In  each  instance  a  single 
scriptural  reference  is  given.  These  references  in  some  manner 
verify  the  information  that  precedes  them. 

VIII.  General  Signification.  The  rules  laid  down  herein,  if 
applied,  will  enable  any  Bible  student  to  determine  the  general 
signification  of  all  Bible  proper  names.  In  some  instances  it 
will  require  a  vast  amount  of  study  and  thought  to  get  the  sig- 
nificance of  names,  while  in  other  cases  it  may  be  easily  deter- 
mined and  expressed  in  a  single  word,  as  in  the  case  of  Abraham, 
signifying  fidelity,  Nathan,  conscience,  Noah,  repose,  etc.  Many 
of  the  names  occur  only  once  and  the  historical  events  relative 
thereto  are  very  meager,  making  it  difficult  to  arrive  at  their 
significance.  The  meaning  of  those  names  occurring  more  fre- 
quently and  interwoven  more  closely  with  historical  events  is 
less  difficult  to  determine.  It  will  be  noted  that  in  almost  every 
instance  more  than  one  definition  is  given  to  each  name.  This 
is  due  to  the  fact  that  there  is  a  variation  of  opinion  of  different 
authorities  relative  to  the  meaning  of  names;  however,  there  is 
usually  a  similarity  in  these  definitions.  In  cases  where  the 
definitions  are  at  variance  it  may  be  attributed  to  the  following 
causes:  the  English  rendering  of  the  name  and  the  original 
word  are  at  variance;  the  root  word  uncertain  or  unknown; 
names  had  a  colloquial  meaning,  therefore,  the  definition  of  a 
single  name  might  include  the  meaning  in  the  Hebrew,  Ara- 
maic, Arabic,  and  Babylonian  tongues  and  each  be  at  variance 
with  the  other.

SACRED  BOOKS  OF  THE  HUMAN  RACE 

The  sacred  books  of  all  nations  are  full  of  high  thoughts 
and  noble  utterances.  Such  are  the  Koran  of  the  Moham- 
medans, the  Tripitaka  of  the  Buddhists,  the  Yin-king  of  the 
Chinese,  the  Vedas  of  the  Hindoos,  the  Zend-Avesta  of  the 
Parsees,  and  the  Scriptures  of  the  Christians.  The  Koran 
is  the  most  recent,  dating  from  the  seventh  century  after  the 
Christian  era.  It  is  a  compound  of  quotations  from  both 
the  Old  and  New  Testaments  and  from  the  Talmud.  It  is 
the  work  of  Mohammed  and  reflects  the  various  experiences 
of  the  author.  The  Tripitaka  contain  sublime  morals  and 
pure  aspirations,  Gautama,  the  founder  of  Buddhism,  the 
author,  lived  in  the  sixth  century  B.  C.  The  sacred  writings 
of  the  Chinese  are  called  Yih-king,  or  Five  Kings,  the  word 
"king"  meaning  web  of  cloth.  From  this  it  is  presumed  that 
they  were  originally  written  on  five  rolls  of  cloth.  They 
contain  the  wise  sayings  from  sages  on  the  duties  of  life  and 
are  traceable  back  to  the  eleventh  century  before  the  Christian 
era.  The  Vedas,  a  collection  of  hymns,  more  or  less  sublime, 
are  the  most  ancient  books  in  the  language  of  the  Hindoos, 
but  they  do  not  antedate  the  twelfth  century  B.  C.  The 
Zend-Avesta  of  the  Parsees,  next  to  the  Christian  Bible,  is 
reckoned  among  scholars  as  being  the  greatest  and  most 
learned  of  sacred  writings.  Zoroaster,  whose  sayings  it  con- 
tains, lived  and  worked  in  the  twelfth  century  before  our 
era.  Moses  wrote  the  Pentateuch  fifteen  hundred  years 
before  the  birth  of  Jesus,  therefore  that  portion  of  the  Scrip- 
tures is  at  least  three  hundred  years  older  than  the  most  ancient 
of  other  sacred  writings.  The  Eddas,  a  semi-sacred  work  of 
the  old  Scandinavian  tribes,  was  first  given  to  the  world  in 
the  fourteenth  century  A.  D.

GENEALOGY  OF  JESUS  THE  CHRIST 

Genealogical  lists  are  found  in  both  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments.  The  genealogy  of  Jesus  the  Christ  is  the  only 
one  given  in  the  New  Testament.  There  are  two  lists  of  the 
human  ancestors  of  Jesus;  one,  given  in  the  first  chapter  of 
Matthew,  beginning  with  Abraham,  and  the  other  in  the  third 
chapter  of  Luke,  beginning  with  Adam.  It  will  be  noted  that 
these  two  pedigrees  of  the  Master  do  not  harmonize  and  the 
differences  between  the  lists  given  by  Matthew  and  Luke 
have  been  variously  explained.  From  an  historical  stand- 
point these  lists  are,  no  doubt,  incomplete,  but  the  value  of 
them  will  be  found  to  be  not  merely  historical  but  in  a  delinea- 
tion of  spiritual  unfoldment.  Any  student  who  will  sub- 
stitute the  spiritual  signification  of  these  names  for  their 
literal  meaning  will  find  a  continuity  that  relates  a  story 
beyond  the  mere  history  indicated.  Some  of  the  richest 
treasures  of  the  Bible  lie  beneath  what  has  been  looked  upon 
as  mere  genealogy.  The  real  fabric  is  not  upon  the  surface 
but  beneath,  in  the  original  meaning  of  the  proper  names 
employed  by  scriptural  writers.

THE  NAMES  OF  THE  HEBREW  MONTHS 

The  terms  for  "month"  and  "moon"  have  the  same  close 
connection  in  the  Hebrew  language  as  in  our  own  and  in  the 
Indo-European  languages  generally.  The  most  important 
point  in  connection  with  the  month  of  the  Hebrews  is  its 
length,  and  the  mode  by  which  it  is  calculated.  The  moon 
played  an  important  part  in  the  life  and  history  of  the  He- 
brews as  a  measurer  of  time.  Its  very  conspicuous  and  regu- 
larly occurring  changes  led  all  people  in  ancient  days  to  use 
it  for  measuring  time.  Like  so  many  other  ancient  peoples, 
the  Hebrews  also  used  the  period  during  which  the  moon 
accomplishes  its  changes  as  a  unit  of  time — the  month.  Their 
year  was  made  up  of  twelve  moon-months  of  twenty-nine 
and  one-half  days  each.  The  Hebrews  were  also  acquainted 
with  the  solar  year.  The  discrepancy  between  the  solar  and 
lunar  year  they  then  smoothed  over  by  means  of  an  inter- 
calary month  inserted  about  every  third  year  which  was 
called  Veadar,  that  is,  the  additional  Adar,  bringing  up  the 
number  to  thirteen.  No  notice,  however,  is  taken  of  such 
month  in  the  Bible.  The  usual  method  of  designating  the 
months  by  their  numerical  order,  e.  g.,  "the  second  month" 
(Gen.  7:  11),  "the  fourth  month"  (2  Kings  15:  3),  was  generally 
retained  even  when  the  names  were  given;  e.  g.,  "in  the  month 
Zif,  which  is  the  second  month"  (1  Kings  6: 1),  "in  the  third 
month,  that  is,  the  month  of  Sivan"  (Esth.  8:9).  The  identi- 
fication of  the  Hebrew  months  with  our  own  cannot  be  effected 
with  precision  on  account  of  the  variations  that  must  inevitably 
exist  between  the  lunar  and  the  solar  month.
